Dr. McKay's bio

This content was provided by Dr. McKay "Hi my name is Dr.Brian McKay and I have practiced at Core Health in Darien for over 25 years. I love helping people feel their best through chiropractic care along with physical therapy and massage therapy. Long before I became a chiropractor I was a patient. I had spent several years working on Wall Street in my 20's. I had a bad fall jogging that lead to a sprained ankle. After my ankle healed I developed a bad back. My orthopedic prescribed pain killers. They did not help. I sought out chiropractic care on the advice of a co-worker who saw a large man standing on my back one day at work. I would buy a messenger lunch if he stood on my back to relieve the pain. It was the only relief I could get. He suggested I see his chiropractor. My chiropractor related the fall to my current back pain. My gait ( the way I walked ) was faulty putting stress on my back. I started to get relief quickly. After a while I decided to change gears and become a chiropractor myself. I originally decided to go to school in California. After investigating a few chiropractic schools there I decided they were a little too strange for me. I went to school in Davenport Iowa where I met my wife Cris. We live in Darien and have 5 kids. I love what I do, how can I help you feel your best? Dr.Brian"

Care Philosophy

This content was provided by Dr. McKay "I believe that we must respect our patients time and money. We need to deliver care to our patients as fast as possible in this challenging environment without compromising the quality of service and care. I feel that we must look at the entire patients physical needs. Physical pain must be addressed structurally, neurologically as well as through the musculoskeletal system for the best possible outcomes. I look forward to helping you or your family member feel their best. I promise to treat you as I would like to be treated with care and respect. Dr Brian"

I read about chiropractic adjustments easing depression so I decided to try it for my teenage daughter.
